I've never heard of a 50 amp b-e-a-k-e-r. You can put a 50 amp b-r- e-a-k-e-r in a 60 amp panel; but you can only have an additional 10 amp breaker along with it. You may need to consider adding another larger panel or a separate 50 amp breaker box.

How many 50 amp breakers feeding 50 amp outlets can you install from a 125 amp main panel?

Three or four would be normal. The total current should not exceed the rating of the main panel, so depending on how intensively the different circuits are used, more could be installed.


Can a 100 amp main have 2 50 amp breakers?

Yes.Additional InformationBreakers and fuses protect the wires to prevent fire. The 100 Amp breaker in the meter base (main) protects the wire from the meter base to the breaker panel. The 50 Amp breaker in the breaker panel protects the wire from the breaker panel to the outlet. Sometimes the 100 amp main breaker is located in the panel.If you are asking "Can you use two 50 amp breakers for the main breakers with a 100 amp service, then yes you can. The National Electrical Code allows you to use up to 6 breakers as the main overcurrent protection.


How many 20 amp circuits can you run on a 50 amp service?

In the United States, there isn't a hard limit on how many 20 amp circuits that can be run on a 50 amp supply. This is because in most cases, especially in homes, we don't load most circuits with more than an amp or 2, even when they are protected by a 20 amp breaker. From a practical perspective you probably have a limited number of slots for breakers in your service or supply panel.

Is a 50 amp sub panel enough to do a bathroom and kitchen?

Possibly if the kitchen does not have an electric over and electric cook-top and no eclectic water heater in the bathroom. If they are electric have an electrician evaluate what is being powered in the kitchen and the bathroom to determine if a 50 amp sub-panel is large enough. I would for sure at least go with a 60 amp sub-panel.

Install the fuse that is required for the circuit.


Do you have to upgrade 60 amp service to 100 amp if you have a 30 amp HVAC unit installed?

Without knowing the sq. ft. area of your house and what appliances you have connected and if your hot water tank is electric it is hard to make an assessment. The average household draws about 50 amps so if you are adding another 30 you will be getting close to the limit of the new panel. Ask for an estimate on the 100 amp panel and then on a 200 amp panel. The labor costs should not be much higher for the larger installation of a 200 amp panel just the materials.


Is it OK to have 250 A of breakers in a 100 A panel?

Yes. Many installations have breaker totals higher that the main breaker of the panel. It is worked on a percentage basis. Not all of the breakers will be on at the same time. In a home, on a 100 amp panel the average load is 50 - 60 amps. The 100 amp main breaker is protecting the 100 amp rated panel board. If the load current goes higher that the panel board is rated at, the main breaker will trip to protect the board.
